My Favorite Wife [1940 film]

A widower remarries, then finds out his first wife isn't dead.

Funny. I don't usually like comedies with this sort of people-forced-to-lie-to-each-other premise, but this cast makes it work.

2025 movie #152. 1940. 7 years after his wife (Dunne) is lost in a shipwreck, her husband (Grant) has her declared dead and marries another woman. That very day, she returns home after 7 years on a deserted island with another man (Scott). Silliness ensues. A fun movie. Star Trek score: 1. Film editor Robert Wise will later direct Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
